Summertime Blues

Vinny needed a new look for the summer.... A bright blue mohawk!

VBS

Today was the first VBS of the summer for the kids. This year I volunteered to be a leader. What a wonderful young bunch I have. Nicholas got to stay with me and was pleasantly surprised to have buddies Eli, Ryan and Kyle. Our group also includes twin girls, two six year old buddies, a very serious prek student and his best friend who is in 3rd grade. Our mainly boy group survived the first day of Crocodile Dock and is looking forward to tomorrow!

Weekend Warriors

We took the kids to the River Center and Busch Wildlife Center over the weekend.

Birthday Wishes

Somewhere out there,

beneath the pale moonlight,

someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer,

that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,

it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,

it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Somewhere out there, if love can see us through,

then we'll be together, somewhere out there,

out where dreams come......

Happy Birthday to a special 'someone' out there. Know we are thinking of you tonight and everynight until our dream comes true.
